As in many things, arbitrary choices are made and agreed upon. You can
choose to accept those definitions or not, but if you don't you have
trouble communicating with the community of experts who do use the
words in the way other professionals understand them to be used. The

postings and playing sim games, is there anything for which you can
claim expert status.

Oh, I forgot the most obvious ones -- you inspire Bertie.


An enduring trait among true professionals is their willingness to
admit when they are wrong. Insecure people seem to have trouble with
that.
